Lost Without You

I remember when your memory began to fade

Oh the laughs we used to share

I'd give anything just to hear your voice

Will I forget what you sound like?


As a child I remember all the good times

When you removed your teeth

Who knew when I turned 26 i'd lose you

To the forgetting disease

How could I have helped?


The last time I saw you alive and talking

I got to hear you say I love you

While leaving the room in a hurry

Saying my final goodbye while you could hear me!


A few months went by

Only a few

I saw you laying in your final bed

You looked so scared


I wanted you to not be afraid

I know my cries didn't help

Were you just as scared as I have been?

Could you hear my final song to you?


I remember falling asleep at your feet

Waking up each hour scared I was going to lose you

I knew it was bound to happen

I just didn't want to lose my biggest fan


You loved when I sang

We enjoyed Disney movies together

I heard the rattle...

The same rattle that took my lovely aunt


We woke with you the next morning

Yet you never said anything

All that came out of your mouth was vile

I'm losing my nana


When they pronounced you dead that afternoon

I watched my mom fall for the first time

It was my first blackout as I ran out of the room

Hearing you gasp for that last breath


I'm so lost without you

I want you to visit me

Give me a hug

Kiss my cheek


I was taken outside

I couldn't take losing you

In all the days I was warned and practiced

Losing you I lost myself


One day

One day

One day


I will find us again!
